Chapter 163 The Curtain Is About to Rise
pa. Thanks to book friends Red and White and Sylvie for the book coins, thank you!
The warm hug she imagined did not come. Wen Xia opened her hands and hugged Lonely.
"Hey, is this your attitude after seeing each other again after a long separation?" Wen Xia put her hands on her waist and was very unhappy.
Junko was busy practicing her dance and just turned her head and glanced: "Welcome home."
"Yeah." Luo Quan didn't even raise his head, staring at the notebook intently.
"What kind of attitude is this?!" Wen Xia walked toward Luo Quan angrily, wanting to see what she was doing.
"What are you doing?" Wen Xia stretched her head to Luo Quan's neck and asked curiously.
Luo Quan sighed in distress: "Hey, many directors in the United States have sent emails to invite me to make movies. I am thinking about how to reject them gently."
Wen Xia's face darkened: "Are you showing off to me?"
Luo Quan rolled his eyes at her: "What are you showing off? They are all low-cost bad money. Look at these script titles: "Thor vs. Avatar", "Atlantic Rim", "Spider-Woman", this kind of movie gives you Will you act?"
"No, is this what these people do?" Wen Xia looked over carefully and found that this was really the case.
Don’t think that the United States, which has Hollywood, can’t make bad movies. When Americans make bad movies, the level of bad movies can even refresh everyone’s outlook. The key is that many stars are very willing to act in these bad movies. It’s probably these crew members. The money given is really too much, after all, no one can have trouble with money.
However, Luo Quan is not a person who likes bad money. It is best to stay away from movies that affect reputation and resume, so she does not plan to touch any of them.
However, you can't refuse too harshly. If your tone is slightly disdainful, these directors may regard it as their own black material, so Luo Quan also needs to pay attention to the wording of his refusal.
"By the way, didn't you finish filming on April 1st? Why are you back now?" After copying and pasting the emails and sending them one by one, Luo Quan turned to ask Wen Xia.
Wen Xia explained: "Of course it's because I performed well. I finished the work that took two days to do in one day, so I finished it in advance... By the way, I Ghost Blowing Lantern is now on the air. Are you going to watch it?"
Luo Quan shook his head: "A total of four episodes have been uploaded. The Penguin membership will be opened for the second episode. I didn't get it, but I sent you a promotional update on station B. Many people should watch it."
Wen Xia was furious: "Why are you deducting it like this! Please open a membership for me quickly!"
She didn't care at all whether Luo Quan's fans at station B came to watch, she only cared about whether Luo Quan had opened a membership for her show.
"Didn't Junko open one already? Is it necessary to waste it like this?" Without saying anything, Luo Quan opened Penguin Video and opened a membership.
Automatic renewal costs only 9 yuan a month, but after enjoying the discount, Luo Quan immediately went to WeChat to cancel the automatic renewal, and he was very economical.
"Come on, let's see how good you are in this drama." Members are all here. It would be a shameful waste not to watch. Of course, Luo Quan will not miss any opportunity to laugh at Wen Xia.
"Look carefully at my acting skills in it!" Wen Xia was very protective. Is her performance in the film really as good as she said?
So Luo Quan watched most of the episode with suspicion.
Although the special effects, costumes and other hardware are still made with the simple atmosphere of a small rural workshop, compared with most domestic movies and TV series, they are already very conscientious.
The performances of all the actors are not awkward at all, and Wen Xia is even more remarkable. It is hard to believe that this is her first time filming a TV series.
Luo Quan laughed after watching it and said, "You did a good job. The barrage was full of praise for you. There are so many returning idols, and you are the only one."
"That's right." Wen Xia was a little proud, "Do you think I have been busy with the girl group during those few months in Japan? I have watched "The Self-cultivation of Actors" many times! And I have been reviewing it recently With the knowledge from high school, I am preparing to take the college entrance examination majoring in film.”
Luo Quan was surprised: "Didn't you study in high school in South Korea? Can you directly take the Chinese college entrance examination?"
"Of course not. It's just that I applied at an ordinary middle school in Shanghai. Because I have a Korean high school diploma, I can study as a senior high school student as a social worker after returning to China. Although it sounds a bit strange, it is not the same as fresh graduates. the difference."
"Go directly to Shanghai to attend high school. Where do you have the connection?"
Wen Xia nodded lightly: "The company helped me with a private high school, which cost me a little money."
"It turns out that "Lao Ma" helped." Luo Quan suddenly realized, "But since your company has been asked to help, why not just go to high school in the capital?"
Wen Xia rolled her eyes at Luo Quan: "How can it be so easy for a high school in the capital to enroll you? Besides, the university I want to enter is in Shanghai. It is definitely better to study in a local high school."
"Shang Hai..." Luo Quan suddenly smiled, "Isn't it Shang Hai University of Arts that you want to take the exam for?"
Wen Xia's eyes widened: "How do you know? I haven't even told my mother about this!"
Luo Quan waved his hand: "I guess, but are you sure?"
“There’s nothing wrong with English. In Chinese, it’s easy to do more reading questions and memorize ancient texts. The rest has to be memorized by rote.
However, I am an art test taker, so even if my cultural score is slightly worse, there is no problem. "Wen Xia still seemed very confident when she said this. Luo Quan knew Wen Xia's English level. Although it was not as good as hers, there was absolutely no problem in daily communication with foreigners.
Although the grammar of English teaching in China is not exactly the same as that used by foreigners, the English test is all subjective except for composition, and the test points are basically based on your vocabulary. To sum up, Wen Xia scored 123 in the test I guess it's not a big problem.
Wen Xia didn't just become an idol in Korea. In the first two years, in addition to being a trainee, she also found time to take school courses, and her grades were probably pretty good, otherwise she wouldn't have been absent from school for such a long time. In this case, you can finally get your diploma.
Moreover, the subjects in Korean high schools are not essentially different from those in China. They are still Mandarin (Korean), mathematics, English, politics, history, geography, physics and chemistry, and then the second year of high school is divided into arts and sciences.
Wen Xia happens to be studying science, so even if the textbooks used in South Korea are different, some of the more important knowledge points are basically common around the world, and there will definitely not be particularly big differences in things like formulas and theorems.
Of course, after all, they are subjects from two countries, so there are still some areas that they are not familiar with. Wen Xia has been reviewing last year's textbooks and doing previous years' test questions recently.
So with her smart mind, it is not difficult to get admitted to an art university.
"In that case, when you are admitted to Shanghai University of Arts, I will be your senior sister." Luo Quan finally smiled at this time.
"Senior sister?" Wen Xia was confused, "Aren't you studying at Tokyo University?"
"You were filming before, I haven't had time to tell you..."
"You were fired?!" Wen Xia covered her mouth with a look of disbelief.
Luo Quan said angrily: "Why should I be expelled? I am now a real top student!"
Junko, who had been practicing dancing next to her, stopped at this time and began to explain to Wen Xia: "Actually, Izumi-chan was forced by netizens in Japan a while ago to form a CP with the Japanese emperor's grandson, because she was afraid that those people would come to the school to put pressure on her. , so I immediately filled out the exchange student application and went back to China to study at university."
Luo Quan added: "And the school where I am an exchange student is Shanghai University of the Arts."
"I didn't use the Internet much when I was filming. I didn't expect that such a wonderful thing would happen. Is the emperor's grandson handsome?" Wen Xia, like most girls, also became gossipy.
"Why are you all so concerned about this?" Luo Quan was speechless.
"How handsome. I even saved his photos before!" Junko sat next to Wen Xia holding her phone and shared some of the photos of Keimiya Masaku that she had saved with Wen Xia.
"He's really handsome." Wen Xia flipped through a few photos and his eyes lit up.
Wen Xia has been an idol in Korea for several years and has met many so-called "good-looking" male idols, but Wen Xia knows what these male stars are like when they first join the company.
Can a country with a total population of 50 million really find so many "good-looking" male idols? In a country that is said to be the world's largest plastic surgery country, how many natural and handsome guys can be found?
Moreover, Korean celebrities have better makeup skills than many domestic female celebrities. It’s not like Wen Xia has never seen their true faces, that’s all.
Moreover, the overall style of male idols in Korea is a bit more girly, and Wen Xia doesn't like this style from the bottom of her heart.
The photos of Jing Gong Masaku gave Wen Xia a refreshing feeling. They were not very powerful, but they just made her feel comfortable.
He clearly looks like a sunny boy with a smile on his face, but there is a hint of melancholy between his eyebrows, which is something that many girls like nowadays.
"This grandson of the emperor is very handsome, Luo Quan, how did you resist the temptation?" Wen Xia stared at Luo Quan like a curious baby.
"He is indeed handsome, but haven't you seen my brother?" Luo Quan had a strange expression.
"Your brother... Oh, you're talking about Leon, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me... That's true, compared to your brother, I still checked a little." Wen Xia understood what Luo Quan meant. This family Her looks are so incredible, so of course ordinary handsome guys are not very attractive to her.
"And you, Junko, just a few days ago you told me how much you like my brother and you are a big fan, but there are photos of other boys on your phone. What does this mean? Are you worthy of the song he specially recorded for you? "Luo Quan turned his head, like Junzi getting angry.
"Looking for an idol is not a husband, so you can't be in two different situations, right?" Junko seemed a little guilty, but what she said was quite reasonable.
"I'm speechless..."
"Leon even recorded a song for Junko?!" Wen Xia was surprised. She hadn't been back these days. What had she missed?
"Not many people know about this matter yet. As one of the mentors, you must not tell it." Luo Quan warned Wen Xia, and then told Wen Xia the whole story.
"Wouldn't it be a good idea to do this?" Junzi knew that Wen Xia attached great importance to this girl group audition program. She wanted to select the number one Chinese girl group that could compete with Korean girl groups, so this kind of Behavior that looks like a backdoor may arouse Wen Xia's disgust.
But Wen Xia was not angry: "Of course not. Our instructors can only teach how to dance better and sing better in the show. In the end, it is the fans who decide whether you can debut.
In other words, as long as you have the strength, even using some special means is not intolerable. After all, Luo Quan is also a resource for you. Other students have the entire company to promote them, but an amateur like you is It’s just us friends, it’s just that we two friends happen to be more capable. "
"Then if someone asks about my relationship with you, can I admit it openly?"
Wen Xia smiled and said: "There is nothing to admit. You are a player and I am a mentor. As long as you do your job well, no one can say anything.
Besides, if someone really asks you this, it will actually increase your popularity. After all, most amateurs can become famous basically because of their controversy. Only when someone pays attention can they have the foundation of popularity. Even if the reputation is poor, it doesn't matter. There is a way to clear it up. "
Luo Quan teased: "You are worthy of being a veteran in our idol world. He has one theory after another. You usually scheming with your peers, right?"
Wen Xia glanced at Luo Quan arrogantly and curled her lips: "Hey~"
Hearing what Wen Xia said, Junzi finally felt relieved.
In fact, she has been worried these days whether her behavior will have a bad impact on the three of them. After all, in any competition, judges and contestants have to avoid suspicion. Once it is discovered that the two are related, the public will think that the contestants The results achieved are all thanks to the help of the judges.
There are a total of five mentors in the "Creating Girls' Generation" program, and two of them are her good friends. If others find out about this, God knows how it will be spread.
But since Wen Xia said that these were not big problems and were even the basis for her to become popular, Junzi no longer worried.
As the saying goes, as long as you have the ability, fans will like you. If you have more fans, you can make your debut.
Junzi's idea was very simple and naive. Probably Wen Xia and Luo Quan did not tell her the cruel truth in order not to affect her mentality.
Many times, no matter how powerful and popular you are, it does not mean that you will definitely be able to achieve results. Both Wen Xia and Luo Quan have seen many examples.
Especially Wen Xia. During her two years in Korea, she had seen too many girls who were far superior to other trainees at the same time. In the end, she was kicked out of the group because she refused certain rules.
Wen Xia entered a big company like SM and did not suffer such treatment at the beginning, but this does not mean that she did not know these things.
The current environment is such that not only the players themselves must be strong, but the strength of the backers behind them is also important.
Luo Quan and Wen Xia didn't know whether their two backers were strong enough.
But no matter what, time is fair to everyone. As the days go by, the day for the "Creating Girls' Generation" program to start filming has finally arrived.
